The Russian Science Foundation has summed up the results of two regional competitions: projects of individual scientific groups and small individual scientific groups. Competitions were held together with 36 subjects of the Russian Federation. In the Krasnoyarsk Region, competitions were held together with the Regional Science Foundation. In total, more than 1200 applications from researchers from these 36 RF subjects were considered. Based on the results, 251 projects of small scientific groups and 56 projects of scientific groups were supported. In the Krasnoyarsk Region, 15 projects of small individual scientific groups were supported (including 9 projects in FRC KSC SB RAS) and 3 projects of individual scientific groups (all these three under the supervision of researchers from FRC KSC SB RAS).

The supported projects based on the results of the 2023 competition for grants from the Russian Science Foundation in the priority area of the Russian Science Foundation “Conducting fundamental research and exploratory research by individual scientific groups”:
